There's this thing, called Hyphos. It’s supposed to be an energy drink, something to make you hyper (thus the name) and energetic. Well, that's what it’s supposed to do. And if you haven't already guessed, something went wrong.
The experiments were supposed to have been cleared, passed all the tests, safe for retail etc. But apparently, they messed up. Big time.
A few minutes after drinking it, you get rushed to the hospital or, if easier, gunned down. Why? Because you begin to change into an abomination. A half human half creature beast. Oh, don't worry, you human side is there, but the beast you become is a little more powerful than the mere human will. And by little, of course we mean a lot.
So, as you once again may have guessed...once the drink became known as a monster creator, thousands of people fled from the mere mention of it, and even more stole the drinks off the shelves to use against those they tend not to like. So far, its only been distributed in America. But there is talk of it being sent to not so friendly countries.
What would happen then? Turning even more people into horrible mutants. And then of course, there are the street gangs using it as a threat, the local law enforcement has been tranquilized and the government is up to high on their big chairs to worry about anyone but themselves and the press.
What happens now is all up to you, what will happen will be the consequence of your actions. Take the drink, give it a whirl, see what happens when you play with genetics, or stay away, run and scream and be safe, at least be as safe as you think you'll be.

Bits and Pieces
Scrap of a military report:
at we must get them to drink it. Without it they will all di
he virus spreads. It won’t be long now.
There’s a secret behind Hyphos. It was distributed with this effect knowingly. But why? What was going to happen that made mutating half the population an option?
Q&A from the New York Times with a local hospital
How do people change once they drink Hyphos?
It depends; sometimes it’s a physical affect, mutating their outer appearance. Sometimes it’s an internal thing, changing their insides around. Other times it’s a mental thing, they go psycho, crazy. But always their human thoughts are locked away, and the beast they become takes control.
Is there any way to cure it?
As far as we know no. The only cure is death. We are currently researching with a few specimens that have been turned in. We hope to receive results soon.

Who might you be?
The following are what could be considered roles:
-Doctor researching the 'infection' (You can be anywhere)
-Someone who's drunk the drink (Choose a symptom)
-Someone who hasn't drunk the drink (normal human)
-Government person (Be creative with this one, tie it in)
-Scientist who knows what's going on (Check with me for more details if needed)
-Somone who for some reason doesn't know what's going on (An outsider)
-More to be added (Give me suggestions)

The Rules
Yes, rules. No one likes 'em and you thought you were going tog et away without them didn't you? Oh well here they are:
1. Be literate. No one liners. Even under writer's block you can think of at least two sentences. And I don't mean things like He shook his head. He sighed. Posts like that are sad and make me want to wonder what killed your creativity.
2. Follow the Gaia ToS. Its as simple as that, no explanation required.
3. Romance? Feel free to throw it in there, it could add some fun twists if used right.
4. Action? Blood? Gore? All fun and great to toy with, especially with the doctors disecting the dead affected peoples.
5. No ignoring people. I've learned this from past experiences. Its just rude, don't do it. evil
6. Use [], {}, () or (()) for OOC please. Just because you're lazy don't confuse the rest of us. (assuming there will be a 'rest of us')
7. More to be added, just wait and see.

Profiles
Gaianame:Volrath11
Name: Cyle
Age: 16
Role: Someone who hasn’t drunk the drink.
Gender: Male
Stuff: He has a hyphos drink, he just hasn’t taken it, and doesn’t necessarily plan on doing so. He also carries around a knife, for defense.
Personality: He is calm, and mostly keeps to himself. But when he gets to know people that changes, and he becomes quite talkative. When you get to know him, you find he can be sweet and caring.
Likes/Dislikes: He likes being with friends, dislikes loud and obnoxious people.
Bio: He had grown up with a grudge held against his parents for thinking they could buy his love with their wealth. He has gotten everything he ever wanted as a kid, but yet he still hates them. This has led him to basically living on the streets, as he hardly ever goes home. With the outbreak of the infection, he immediately got a Hyphos, but as time went on he decided against drinking it. Although he felt he didn’t value his life anymore and was willing to throw it away, he felt there had to be something better.
Appearance:  Gaia Name: A_Lost_Hope
Name: Demisrah (Demi) Asher
Age: 15
Role: Editor in chief of her school newspaper and a sophomore (tenth grade right?); hasn’t taken the drink.
Gender: Female
Stuff: She carries around a half-pint book bag (its about a foot long to give you an idea) in which she keeps several notebooks (small ones), pens, a digital camera and a sealed can of the Hyphos energy drink. She also has a can of pepper spray (this is NYC after all).
Personality: Demi is a stubborn persistant, sometimes annoying, journalist who doesn’t stop till she gets what she wants, and she wants to know what’s going on with Hyphos.
She’s could be a source of information for her area, but she doesn’t tell what she knows. She can be volatile and fickle, but to those who know her best that’s the only constant.
Likes/Dislikes: She hates missing a story and not finding out what she needs to know. Uncooperative people are also nuisances, but she tends to handle them somewhat well.
Bio: Demi is from a lower-middle class family. She’s an only child now, her older sister dying from a car crash two years ago. Her parents were split and she almost never sees her mom. Many think that Demi took her sister’s death too well, and that she should be a little more traumatized. The truth is she took it harder than anyone, but keeps it form showing by smiling and laughing all the time, even at things that aren’t funny.
Appearance: 
Gaianame: A_Lost_Hope
Name: Kira Nadina
Age: 12
Role: Someone who has drunk Hyphos (before it was known to be dangerous)
Gender: Female
Mutation: Kira changed in a less visable way, although visible changes can be noticed if you look hard enough. For one, her eyes have become a dark blood red and her left hand arm has morphed into a gray-feathered wing.
Personality: Even before being warped into some strange creature, Kira was a shy girl. She was always skittish and introverted but now that she’s a mutated freak and may be killed on sight, she’s even more afraid. But now a deep anger resonates in her mind, brought on partly by her new beast-like side, created by Hyphos.
Likes/Dislikes: She hates the *** who forced her into consuming the drink. She has always liked birds, and now that she’s part bird she’s somewhat content with her new form.
Bio: Kira grew up like any normal kid in NYC. She had both parents and an older brother under one roof, the perfect family. But then Hyphos happened. Her brother was one of the first to take it, and he’d been gunned down by police in his own school. Her mom had also been one of the first, pushed out a window by a co-worker after she’d changed. Kira had been forced into taking the drink by twisted high-schooler, changing into the mutated form she takes now.
Appearence:  See Mutation for a desription.

It was way past dark, and only about half the streetlights were lit. Demi, pulled the strap of her book bag tight over one shoulder, stepping down the narrow alley to Corway’s Avenue. She was out late again, gathering information on the new craze: Hyphos. Somehow, Demi had scored a can of the stuff a few days ago. Local gangs had stolen most of the supply to use as threats on their enemies so it was fairly rare to come by.
The drink was a nightmare…it turned you into some mutant, some creature that took hold of you. But that wasn’t all it did, Demi was certain of that. She’d found a scrap of something at her Father’s office. He worked close with the Mayor, and often now she wouldn’t see him for days. In his trashcan she’d found a rolled up scrap of paper. It was typed, and it had been shredded by hand. She had found one other piece to it that showed half of an insignia that she knew all too well by now.* Well, not completely. Demi knew it was a governmental seal, whose she didn’t know. But that was one of things she hoped to find out in the near future.
There was some big secret to this whole thing, some charade that no one could figure out. Hyphos was knowingly distributed with these odd effects, but why? Why had the United States Government wanted to mutate thousands of people without telling anyone why so that when they changed they were gunned down? From what she had heard so far, it took between a few seconds and an hour for Hyphos to completely change someone. Demi had visited a local hospital doing autopsies, and she'd gotten some input from some kids in her grade who saw someone take the drink and change. But it still didn't add up. A piece of the puzzle was still missing...but what could it be?
Making her way down the street's sidewalk, Demi continued to debate over the different possibilites. Most people had abandoned their work once the drink had changed the first few. The only ones still working were doctors and news people, everyone else was hiding away. That was the only reason Demi was out this late at night wandering downtown New York City. Pandemonium had caused a lot of shady places to become a lot brighter.

There was a cold chill in the air tonight, as Cyle walked around the town. Tonight was one of his nights he decided not to go home. He knew it wasnt safe on the streets, not at all, but in the back of his mind, he knew there was no way he would rather be at home. He looked up, glaring at the stars for a moment, lost in them. He didnt know where he was going at the moment, didnt really care, he just knew that he had to stay awake for as long as possible. With all of the people who had taken the drink, there was no telling what was lurking around every corner.
Cyle stopped in front of a building, seemed to be a conviniece store of some sort. The window was broken and the whole place had been basically destroyed. 'What is this world coming to...' he thoght. He leaned up against the building for a moment, catching his breath, as he was tired for pretty much walking all day. Once again his eyes went to the stars. He didnt know why, but he had always been fascinated by everything outside of this world.

Kira sat in the back of a grocery store, holding her knees to her chin with her right arm, her only arm. Her left had become a distorted mass of feathers as a result of having consumed the Hyphos energy drink. She hadn’t wanted to…She hadn’t intended to…but there wasn’t much a 12-year-old could do against a full-grown senior. The last few days had been the worst of her life. At first, a beastly instinct had taken over her, she couldn’t control herself anymore. She has been worse than an animal, truly a monster.
She heard footsteps and froze up. If they had any kind of weapon...No, bets not to think about it. She stood up and ran for the cover of an overturned refridgerator. But luck was not on her side. She slipped falling to the floor, sending several noisy items to the ground. As they clanged about she cursed under her breath. Most thought it was unproper for a child to swear, but Kira saw no difference. She crawled behind the fridge, hoping that no one would find her, and even more, that no one would kill her.

Cyle jumped as he got startled from a sound from the seemingly empty store that he was leaning on. His hand immediatly fell to his belt, where he kept his knife. He had no clue what it couldve been. He slowly peered into the broken window. He noted the knocked over items that were not like that a moment before. 'Maybe it was just a cat...hopefully..' he thought to himself.
Cyle was slightly shaking from fear as he was still peering into thebroken window, scanning for any signs of movement. He obviously wasnt thinking straight, as he slowly put on foot in through the wndow. It wasnt too long before he quickly pulled it back. But curiosity was getting the better of him as he slowly stepped in, still shaking, as he looked around the store.

Kira watched from her hide-away as the stranger came in. She had never seen him before, and she could see the outline of a knife on his belt. He seemed as nervous as she was afraid.
Then, she felt a rising anger in herself. This boy was trespassing. This was her place. It belonged to her. He shouldn't be here. Realizing it was the infection thinking Kira began to panic. If she lost control of it again and attacked...she'd probably end up dead. But there was nothing she could do. She stood up, shaking form the inner turmoil of her mind, walking silently and unnoticed towards the intruder. She had covered her arm long ago with an old jacket, so from his perspective she would have appeared normal. Except for her eyes.
Her foot stroke a can and she waited in silent terror in a tiny corner of her mind for the boy to turn. At least if she ended up dead she'd see her Mom and brother again.
